The 2D action-platformer Katana Zero is absolutely killing it on the Nintendo Switch right now – in more ways than one.

According to the game's publisher Devolver Digital, it has managed to become the company's second fastest selling game on Nintendo's hybrid platform, right behind the 2017 hit, Enter the Gungeon.

Shout out to @askiisoft as Katana ZERO is our second fastest selling Nintendo Switch game behind Enter the Gungeon!
Thrilled for the dev team and thankful for the support of @NintendoAmerica and @NintendoEurope!

Although no exact figures were provided by the publisher, not long after this, Katana Zero's developer Askiisoft revealed the Switch and PC version had surpassed a combined total of 100,000 sales in the game's launch week.

The developer also mentioned how work on the first free DLC, including a speedrun mode, was already underway:

Thank you so much for playing and sharing Katana ZERO - we're excited that we've sold over 100,000 copies in the first week! Work on the first free DLC plus a speedrun mode is underway.

Last week, we found out the game had become Devolver Digital's most pre-ordered Nintendo Switch title to-date, surpassing pre-order demand for games such as The Messenger, Minit and Downwell.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games. His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.

Gameplay was fun enough. Nothing massively unique, but a solid and enjoyable.

The story though...I just didn't care about the story. Seems to be a thing in indie games where story parts are slow paced keeping me from playing the actual game, which is the real issue there since I would be fine if it just gave me a button to skip that.

I’m super super conflicted on if I should buy this, the only thing that puts me off is the fact that it’s one hit one kill for both parties. Not sure if that’s going to kill my vibe for the whole game. It’s doing so well and I’m hearing mixed feelings about it but more on the positive side ):

@Tao Yeah I would usually agree with you, and the trips to the psychiatrist could break the flow of the game for some. But I was actually really impressed with the story in this game and the way it was delivered. Better than most AAA games in my opinion.

Absolutely fantastic game, it deserves all the success it's had. Not many games can provide an experience where the story and gameplay are equally engaging, but Katana Zero pulls it off with style. Can't recommend it enough!

This game is AMAZING. I preferred it to Sekiro. Couldn’t put it down till I finished it.

Solid build and unbelievably slick gameplay, gorgoues art style, gripping storyline and awesome soundtrack. This is more playable and enjoyable and overall better quality than Sekiro. Wished I’d have found it on Steam earlier and I’d have double dipped.

Justin Stander has got some talent and is definitely a new indie developer to watch.

@Zoda_Fett that’s the game concept though. The colour version of each level is you playing through the protagonists premonitions as he can see what happens and relive all eventualities until he finds the right method, like Groundhog day. He never actually dies. The black and white replay at the end of each level is the level’s CCTV capturing what events actually happened in real life.
